what does this sting mean?

"Applying Chi Squared random number with 0 nu Value asserts in random.h"

That's quite technical / description of a bugreport
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165846

I meanwhile know what a Chi Squared random number could be and I know
that random.h is a C++ header file but what is "0 nu Value asserts"?

nu (ν) is the degrees of freedom in the calculation, and all that
means that the code didn't properly check for bad inputs like entering
0 as value for ν or rather the UI did not - using 0 would be resulting
in a division by 0 and that's not gonna work...

So it is another way of saying that an input check/limitation for the
nu/degrees-of-freedom value was introduced to prevent a crash/assert.
